Chapter 3380: Robber Star System
The Diamond Pill, after several improvements by the Alchemists, has become increasingly effective; Ye Liuyun's current Physical Body strength is estimated to be able to clash head‑on with that black‑armored Demon Race they faced before.
After all the Mineral Vein trades were completed, they also began to bid farewell to Yao Tianling, Yao Meng and the other Yao Shi Tribe members.
Yao Tianling specifically asked Ye Liuyun about their route. Upon learning Ye Liuyun's direction of travel, Yao Tianling and Yao Meng's expressions both changed.
"What's wrong?" Ye Liuyun also sensed something amiss and hurriedly asked.
"Along your course there is a Robber Xing Xi. The people there live by raiding, and they are all relatively large robber gangs.
They have also raided us before, but each time we fought them to the death, and they had no resources they cared about—at most they stole some women—so they gradually stopped coming so often.
The weapons and gear we exchanged with you are actually intended to deal with those robbers. We can trade with other tribes, exchanging weapons for food, and then jointly resist those robber raids."
Yao Tianling also told Ye Liuyun about that Robber Xing Xi, saying the robbers there form gangs of tens of thousands.
"No problem, we can conveniently eliminate this scourge for you!"
Ye Liuyun thought that since the local body‑refining Martial Cultivators could handle those robbers, his own army should have no trouble. It would also be a good chance to gather more Divine Soul Power as reserve cultivation resources.
When Yao Tianling and Yao Meng heard this, they kindly cautioned Ye Liuyun, saying his numbers were few. In recent days they had also seen that Ye Liuyun's group was very powerful. But those robbers are each large robber gangs, so they feared being at a disadvantage.
Ye Liuyun did not want to display too much strength in front of them, so he superficially agreed and led everyone out of this Xing Xi.
Lei Ming and the others saw that Ye Liuyun intended to strike those robbers, so each of them became very excited, rubbing their fists in anticipation.
Ye Liuyun had no concerns about them, but reminded them to stockpile more Divine Soul Power for cultivation; this might be their final battle before returning to the Silver Soul Xing Xi, and later it would be hard to gather Divine Soul resources.
As for that robbery.
The Yao Shi Tribe members also did not know where the robber's Xing Xi was. Ye Liuyun's party passed through two Xing Xi in a row, deliberately slowing their speed while traversing a Xing Xi to attract the attention of nearby Xingqiu inhabitants, yet they never encountered anyone to raid them.
The people on those Xingqiu did not appear to be robbers, so they did not act, and continued sailing forward.
But before they reached the next Xing Xi, they encountered a group of robbers in Xingkong.
These unlucky scoundrels, regardless of cultivation realms, relying on their numbers, blocked Ye Liuyun's Flying Boat.
"Here they come, here they come, the robbers finally arrived!" Lei Ming shouted joyfully, scrambling with the Monster Beasts to disembark the Flying Boat.
Opposing their interception was a rather battered Warship, carrying over two thousand robbers. That number was indeed sizable, with half at the early stage of the First Unification realm, and the other half not even reaching the First Unification realm.
Lei Ming and the Monster Beasts did not mind the low realms; they had Jiu Tou Mo Long unleash a Technique of white light that directly destroyed the Warship's power system, then they launched a full assault.
The women then rushed out to kill as well, while Ye Liuyun, watching from a distance, took out a Soul Sealing Pearl, released his own soul source to seize the Souls of those Martial Cultivators.
The Monster Beasts and the women fought those low‑realm robbers with utter ease, not needing True Essence, directly using Heaven and Earth Power to effortlessly crush them.
In the end, the remaining robbers were surrounded in the middle by the Monster Beasts and women, where the Monster Beasts practiced the Soul Searching Technique. They discovered these robbers were utterly wicked, burning, killing, and looting everywhere, so they pulled all their Souls into the Soul Sealing Pearl, and handed the corpses to the female soldier Qing Feng Lang as food.
All the Souls collected by the group were taken by Ye Liuyun to be refined in the Soul‑Refining Cauldron, then Ye Liuyun kept them centrally. Afterwards, the Monster Beasts, carrying the emptied Soul Sealing Pearls, directly rushed to the robbers' Xing Xi.
This time, Ye Liuyun also released the Demon Race Legion, tasking them with intercepting any robbers trying to flee on the outer perimeter.
The Death Legion cooperated with Ye Liuyun, taking the women and Monster Beasts to exterminate the robbers on each Xingqiu one by one.
Throughout the Robber Xing Xi, there are over thirty Xingqiu alone, each hosting a large robber gang; just the official robber gangs
have memberships numbering in the tens of thousands.
Moreover, although the administration on each Xingqiu is relatively chaotic, the local Martial Cultivators are fairly united, knowing that once the robber gangs are eliminated, their fate will become even more tragic.
Thus, each Xingqiu has ten thousand robber gang members plus tens of thousands of Martial Cultivators, making the total not small. Fortunately, these people's realms are low, and the Death Legion mainly lets low‑realm soldiers practice on them.
Ye Liuyun continuously filled the Soul Sealing Pearls with Souls, stockpiling Soul cultivation resources. Though the robbers' Divine Soul Power is weak, it can accumulate over time.
After they captured a Xingqiu, Ye Liuyun used the gathered Divine Soul Power to condense two soul sources. The Monster Beasts' collected Souls were enough to condense three soul sources. Though the amount is not large, it is better than none.
The main issue is they lack enough Soul Sealing Pearls, so many robbers slain by Death Legion soldiers are not captured in time for their Divine Soul Power by Ye Liuyun.
However, within the robbers' lairs there are plenty of cultivation resources, conveniently for the Death Legion to use. The Death Legion's killings incur almost no casualties; as long as soldiers are careful, they will not be slain by these low‑realm robbers.
Ye Liuyun's group thus easily exterminated five Xingqiu. Moreover, after wiping out each, they seized the entire Xingqiu, leaving nothing behind.
Just as they were preparing to attack the sixth Xingqiu, the robbers unexpectedly banded together to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.
They realized Ye Liuyun's massive army was too formidable; relying on their own strength they could not stop it, so they threatened Ye Liuyun, saying if he kept fighting, they would gather their forces and strike Ye Liuyun together.
In response, Ye Liuyun merely sneered, then ordered his soldiers to launch an attack.
At the same time, he informed the Demon Race army to divide the remaining Xingqiu into five sections, awaiting the Death Legion to assault each part sequentially.
The Death Legion's hundred‑thousand‑strong army could easily handle a combined assault from robbers on five or six Xingqiu. In the end, those robbers only threatened Ye Liuyun and lacked any resolve to form an alliance.
Ye Liuyun continued to capture ten more Xingqiu, and he saw none of their Xingqiu send reinforcements to others, each fighting alone for him to defeat them one by one.
